Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Ivaylo Kalfin awarded Monday top football player Dimitar Berbatov with the honorary plaque of the ministry over the sportsman's contribution to popularising the country all around the world. Tottenham's star received the prize at a special ceremony, at which Kalfin said that the event caused greater media interest than the visit of US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

Berbatov gladly accepted the award and presented the minister with his team shirt.

"I am sorry it is dirty. I did not have time to wash it," the star apologized, adding that the shirt was from his last match against Blackburn on Saturday when Berbatov scored his 22nd goal of the season.

After the ceremony, the player announced that he is to establish a foundation bearing his name, which is to support young and talented Bulgarians.
